<b>Description(berkdb dbremove)</b>
<p>Remove the Berkeley DB database specified by the database name <b>file</b> and
[database] name arguments.  If no <b>database</b> is specified,
the physical file represented by <b>file</b> is removed, incidentally
removing all databases that it contained.</p>
<p>No reference count of database use is maintained by Berkeley DB.  Applications
should not remove databases that are currently in use.</p>
<p>The options are as follows:</p>
<br>
<b>-encrypt</b><ul compact><li>Specify the database in an environment is encrypted with the
same password that is being used in the environment.</ul>
<b>-encryptaes passwd</b><ul compact><li>Specify the database is encrypted with the given password
using the Rijndael/AES (also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard
and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197) algorithm.</ul>
<b>-encryptany passwd</b><ul compact><li>Specify the already existing database is encrypted
with the given password.  This option is used if the database is
known to be encrypted, but the specific algorithm used is not known.</ul>
<b>-env env</b><ul compact><li>If a <b>-env</b> argument is given, the database in the specified Berkeley DB
environment is removed.</ul>
<b>--</b><ul compact><li>Mark the end of the command arguments.</ul>
<br>
<p>The <b>berkdb dbremove</b> command returns 0 on success, and in the case of error, a Tcl error
is thrown.</p>
